I was just looking at tech news sites when i came across this https://wccftech.com/nvidia-rtx-video-hdr-mod-reportedly-provides-better-auto-hdr-for-games-than-the...

Now ive never been much of a raytracing enthusiast, but HDR on the other hand is a better feature by far, ive been wait for years for this and windows have been crap at using hdr for years. If anything would convince me to buy nvidia again after years on radeon it would be this.

Now i like radeons software stack, radeon chill is my go to for older games where i easily get over 200fps i dont need.

But i could just frame rate cap on nvidia. HDR as an driver based setting would be mind bllowing.

How many would swap card for auto HDR?

I consider this a larger fidelity feature above raytracing or framegen.

I would love to see auto HDR come to AMD. I Agree, HDR is more important right now to me then raytracing. Hopefully AMD is looking into something like this for us.

AutoHDR is a cool conversion feature. Works well on unsupported narrative titles.

Terrible for games that are UI heavy though because the AutoHDR can't separate the UI layer and overbrightens them.

I just bought a 7900XTX but I might end up returning it for Nvidia because manually switching to HDR for my games is annoying.

I just changed my nvidia RTX3060Ti card to radeon RX7900GRE . I haven't checked it, but windows auto hdr doesn't work on radeons? I have a Samsung g7 monitor with HDR.

windows auto HDR works if you are on W11, w10 not so much. i also have a samsung g7 but i only have 6 diming zones so its useless for HDR, however my LG OLED TV is great, but id like AMD to work more on their HDR its far from perfect. in some games like Cyberpunk i has some problems with peak brightness.

I made another thread on this subject. It has to be known since these knobheads don't really care whether they can sell their Radeon RX or not.

Just don't give a fxxx and left AMD users shouting in suffering for it.

Ive used AutoHDR in Windows 11 with a 7900XT and HDR1000 OLED PC display in a variety of games. I really dont recommend AutoHDR. The UI gets blown out. Running HDR, even in games where native HDR mastering is good doesnt feel healthy for long sessions. The eye fatigue from the high brightness alone is questionable.

Also, Windows is very spotty with any form of HDR in multi monitor setups, resulting in microstuttering, system hangs.
